The dog in all these questions is that open rotor seems to be the next big step in power plants now that the noise appears to be solved, and it is going to be very difficult to come up with a common airframe to suit open rotor, GTF and LeapX. Maybe Keesje can dream up a suitable concept?
touched the grey cells about a year ago. I contacted Henry Lam on the idea and he actually made some excellent sketches.
Name we came up with: ERC-20 (EcoRegionalConcept 2020). Then we got busy with serious things. Maybe its time to grab together what we got produce 1 story board and "launch" it here. I'll contact Henry & ask what he thinks.
sneak preview of the ECR-20
